Congrats I've lost 45 lb since 3/21 but I have very little fill.

Elaine I'm only three months post op so I'm still new at this. But I would definitely take care of it. Btw I've seen a similar post before so u are not the only one this happens too. Go on a liquid diet to give u a push.

Gowalking. Your apology has actually made me feel that it's ok to post concerns again. I understand your point of view but I also understand that we live in a society that promotes sabotage and literally try to push u under the bus. I have counted upto six offerings of foods people trying to feed me @ work. They say things like "oh but just one slice of cake won't hurt." I've come home and told my husband about it. AA tells their members to avoid alcoholics, parolees are prohibited from associating with other parolees. But a food addict has no escaping food environments. It's a hard situation. My coworkers will come and offer me all this poison and then say after I refuse it "oh that's right you can't eat this. " I have said a dozen times In the past month. "I can eat whatever I want, however I didn't go under a knife to eat your cake." We have to be compassionate so sometimes. Good luck to all of us.

Wow incredible the lack of compassion on here. I'm two months 12 days post op and I haven't felt myself once since, but its taboo to share such experiences. The excruciating pain finally went away but the constant other pains haven't but its scary to share. What I am certain about though is that regardless of anyone's claimed happiness with any WLS it's not anything to be happy about. It's unnatural and preventable. All these young kids doing this surgery should be considered a crime. All these parents allowing their five year olds having adult size meals should be fined or something. And I'm glad that Maui hasn't let anyone intimidate her into silence. Right now my stomach feels so weird that I gave my husband my surgeons cell number And some pertinent information, in the event something happens to me. I don't understand y all the self righteousness, when we all know that WLS is not ideal for anyone to have, and maybe just maybe the problem is in the delivery, but maybe not.

Omfgmelly this is the best mind set ever. To have the mindset of breaking this vicious cycle. To make sure this doesn't happen to future generations, it's the best thing that can happen. With that kind of thinking we can get back on track. Our children shouldn't have to experience this unhealthy life style. I did it to children, but I'm going to make sure it doesn't happen to their children. You are on the right path that is great.

Half intelligent adult, who's being offensive now?

Congrats on your baby. I love that you look so beautiful in The before picture as well as the after picture. You are just gorgeous.

There are some WLS doctors that won't do the surgery until you quit pot. It's like sabotaging yourself until u quit altogether. God knows it was one of my favorite things to do once upon a time.

Go on a clear liquid diet for a few days then monitor your portions. No more than a cup of food. Just like in the beginning when you lost the fifty pounds.

Yes Jackie it's all connected and there should be more awareness about it. I haven't felt myself since I got mine and its sad that people make it so difficult to talk about.
